The hotel's location was really convenient! It was close to major attractions. The breakfast had a great selection of food. The view from the rooftop restaurant included the Acropolis.
The breakfast service was slow and unfriendly. I had to wait for coffee and juice. The staff should serve these items more quickly. Rooms seem a little shabby.
